5th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Saulo Ribeiro (born July 2, 1974), brother of the equally famed Xande Ribeiro, is a 5th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After earning a black belt in Judo, he began his training of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Rio de Janeiro under Royler Gracie, the son of Hélio Gracie, at the famous Gracie Humaitá.
Saulo received his black belt in BJJ on November 27, 1995. Less than 2 years later, he won his first MMA fight. He also won the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship five times, in an equal amount of varying weight classes.
Saulo Ribeiro was born in Manaus, Brazil on July 2, 1974. At the age of 15 and already a Judo practitioner, Saulo started training Jiu Jitsu as a way to improve his Judo game by learning submissions. He moved away from home in December 1991 and headed to school in Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro is where Saulo began his training under Royler Gracie, at the legendary Gracie Humaitá. Shortly after receiving his black belt from Royler Gracie on November 27, 1995, Saulo won the Brazilian Nationals Lightweight Title.
Alongside brother Xande, Saulo runs the University of Jiu Jitsu in San Diego, California, a school that focuses as much on the traditional and character aspects of students as technical and practical ability. The school opened in Feb 10, 2007, and is currently the headquarters of the Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu association with over 50 affiliates world-wide.
